Disney hired Jon Favreau in September to helm their live-action reimagining of The Lion King, so he'll be spending the successivo several years working on both projects back-to-back.
We just spoke to Favreau about both films and he revealed that he not only used some virtual reality technology for The Jungle Book, but that he’ll be using it a lot più in the live-action Lion King movie.
Much of Disney’s new The Jungle Book, in theaters now, is built on the shoulders of Disney filmmakers who’ve come before, from the robust story development, to mixing live-action with animation, to the relentless drive to push technology.
